Does she think stripping terrorists of their garments makes them lose all of their terrorist powers?

My university requires you to have your photo student id for all exams. I'm not sure how they would handle this. I feel like my school should be well within its right to say "If you want to take this exam, you need to let us know you are the actual person that is supposed to take this exam."
In general, I don't feel that a religious belief should make you immune to some rule as long as the rule is reasonable. Perhaps there would be another way to identify the student without requiring them to unveil their face?

They would literally just ask a female staff member to identify the person if they needed photo ID.
This is such a non thing.
I would say that isnt the norm.
I wonder though, if she was allowed to wear a niquab for her student ID picture too.
My uni has no Muslims students wearing niqabs but hijabs but feel like they would have a female identify them elsewhere and then let her in.
While even as a muslim i find a niqab weird this is such a non-issue.

How can you smile and wave when you have that on? Would the person know they were smiling? Something doesn't sound right but either way the other lady sounds crazy.

Ignorance in it's purest form.
She looks unhinged. I would be afraid.
When I used to let my beard out (and honestly I only stopped because I started using a cpap machine) I used to get middle eastern quite frequently. In fact it was only during this time that I ever got stopped for secondary screening at airports!
I'm hispanic btw. The fragile kind don't dgaf tho.

When you smile it also affects how your eyes look. Who knows if the lady recognized it as a smile, but it's not inconceivable that you would have some idea of the facial expression someone is making just by seeing their eyes and eyebrows.

These discussions about Muslim women's clothing never cease to amaze me. Let them wear traditional garb if that's what they want.
Yes, only white people actually think it went away anywhere.
she doesn't think at all
Now you know how it feels
Well... not "now" now. I had a full beard from 2003-2013!

This is happening all the time now. But we just make jokes about it. How can she smile? That's one of the reason it keeps happening. I wonder how many other minorities would be joked about like that after being attacked and viciously abused with slurs? I'm going to guess none.

I would suspect with an accent that thick that the Woman in the video is in fact a Chinese international student (there are loaaaaads in sydney), and while of course that doesn't forgive her behaviour, I think there is a definite possibility that she has had very little exposure to any Muslim individuals and is having an extreme reaction based off what she had seen in the media.
Anyway other than that pretty shocking.

Woman wearing niqab waves at her, and this is her reaction. She's being a piece of shit to someone who is not harming her in any way. Regardless of her exposure to the niqab in the media, you'd think she's a functioning adult who knows people wear niqabs in public and aren't immediately evil.

glad she got arrested for this.
Just putting this here so you know which veil is called which. You might have confused miqab for burka.
Huh, i've had the Burka and the Niqab backwards all this time.
China has a massive muslim population though.
She didn't sound Chinese either but really was hard to tell... I think she's just batshit crazy.

There's the Uygurs but they live in the far west of the country so most ethnic Han chinese probably wouldn't have much exposure to them
Anyway I'm not defending her actions just tring to understand them
but yeh she definitely is a bit crazy and deserves some help
I'm pretty sure the crazy woman wasn't Chinese.

Wow that woman is insane. I don't really like the niqab either but damn you can't harass people like that.
LMAO
I fucking died at the hover board part and the ending.

There are Muslims all across china. I'm standing outside a Muslim noodle restaurant in Shanghai operated by muslims right now. Your average Chinese person probably engages with muslims more often than your average American or Aussie.

There's one more called Abaya, which is a black cloak worn over the body by women in Saudi Arabia. It is combined with the head dressing Hijab.
Abaya designs are a huge industry. Here's some designer collections
Here's Dolce & Gabbana

Turkish style is seen all over the turkic central asian region. Also in that infamous Steven Seagal dancing like a gorilla gif

My favorite part is when she starts yelling at the husband that his wife is a terrorist.
what the fuck.
what the fuck.
I don't know man, Jackie Chan can pull it off.
disclaimer: it's a joke
Glad this crazy lady was arrested. Not even sure why she went off like that. smh. No normal person would seeing someone wearing that.
Ugh, people showing their real face are always far uglier than the one's who are covering it.
But on the other hand, I don't see why a women should be made to wear a niqab in a modern western society when a hijab is all that's necessary to be in compliance with your religion. Just comes over as needlesly provokative. Those things are even banned in my country. ( for the pretence of security; you have to show your face in public so you can be identified )

I always find it baffling when one minority is blatantly racist towards another.
I work next to an Indian guy who likes Pauline Hanson. I keep trying to explain to him that this woman is no friend to immigrants but he won't listen to me. He believes too many immigrants are freeloading and mooching off the system.

that ending is amazing lol.
I'd be afraid to visit the states because of dumb people like that lady.
I'm Aussie (with greek ancestry), and your typical greek shares features with people from middle eastern countries.
I'd be so targeted lol

That's the "fuck you got mine" mentality. Some minorities got established in a country long enough and don't feel like an immigrant anymore, so they can rag on other immigrants. It is hilariously ironic.

But... we're in a thread about a similar incident happening in Australia.....
Is it traditional garb? I always keep reading that it's fairly new thing and has no basis in Quran.
Well... not in France at least. Niqabs are forbidden.
